Mrs. Nancy Reagan kissed the casket before it was removed from the Capitol Rotunda and the Reagan family accompanied the motorcade to the cathedral. Inside the cathedral guests assembled and the musical portion of the service began, including the singing of “Ave Maria.” The program concludes with the family following the casket into the cathedral.
